Who can forget how they felt at the end of
Saving Private Ryan when the aged veteran asked of his family if he had led a good life, if he was a good man, wanting to know that *he* had been worth all that? All of us I think need to ask ourselves that question from time to time.
Band of Brothers was a series I greatly enjoyed and was in awe of. For whatever reason I never got around to seeing it on HBO. My youngest son selected the first
Band of Brothers DVD from Netflix and from then on we couldn't wait for the next disk to come. We would actually take the DVD out of the DVD player and put it in the mailbox so that the next one could come as soon as possible.
Not really a movie but another miniseries,
Holocaust was another great glimpse into WWII for me. I was in Jr-high when Holocaust was first aired and like
Band of Brothers I couldn't wait for the next night to continue the story.
Two other highly entertaining WWII movies that I enjoyed are
The Pianist and
Jakob the Liar. Both movies that are very worth watching simply for the wonderful stories.
